“New Bombshell Report Reveals Obamacare’s Epic Medicaid Waste,” by Sally Pipes, Forbes

“Medicaid was created in 1965 to provide health coverage to impoverished Americans. But according to a new study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, it’s the insurer of record for a significant number of middle-class Americans. The cost to taxpayers? Hundreds of millions of dollars. … Medicaid has expanded well beyond its original mission of taking care of the most vulnerable members of society. Hundreds of thousands of people who have no business claiming taxpayer-funded health coverage are doing just that.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

 

First Medicaid long-term care for the affluent, now acute care. What’s next? Medicaid for All?
